B.W. Haggart

I started writing historical romances on a dare. One day I couldn't find anything new to read and Joy, the love of my life, suggested a romance, Jude Deveraux's The Princess. I enjoyed it and started reading more. I realized that most of the SF, comedy, Historicals, and mystery books I liked had a romance in them: the Dorsai series, the four volume Man of his Word fantasy series, The Sebasitan St. Cyr series, The Dog Tails, even P.G.Woodhouse's Leave it to Psmith and Richard Powell's comedy Don Quixote, U.S.A. I have been a Napoleonic enthusiast since I was young, so the Regency period appealed to me.

I read a few excruciatingly bad romances, amazed that they'd been published. So one day, I said, "I can write better than this" as I flung one

Jon Spoelstra

"I can't believe I've turned into a typical old man. I can't believe it. I was young just minutes ago."

I wish I had uttered that. I didn't, but I feel it. (Attribute that quote to an American illustrator, Maurice Sendak.)

So, not accepting that I've turned into a typical old man, I wrote a mystery involving some nifty old guys, "Who's Killing All My Old Girlfriends."

I sent the manuscript to a bunch of test readers—all old men and a few old women. They loved it. They wanted to read the sequel. Even before publishing "Who's Killing All My Old Girlfriends," I wrote a sequel. "Who's Killing the Fountain of Youth."

More rave reviews came from my test readers, all oldsters.

If you're over 50 years old, I suspect that you'd enjoy these two novels.

About me - I was born in Hampstead in 1966 into a home with zero mod cons and even less disposable income. However, throughout what was undoubtedly an unorthodox childhood, my parents introduced me to a series of bizarre and eccentric characters. So, to mum and dad (both RIP) I give my thanks for a tendency to drift off into a world of my own imagination.
By day I've had a varied career: antiquarian bookseller, digital marketing agency founder and I even launched a business which went from a valuation of nearly £20M to bust in the space of 18 long months. Consequently, I live a reasonably modest life with my lovely family up near Alexandra Palace.The yacht will have to wait, not that I'd ever want one anyway.
